i-m IMPROVED POST FOR PEG-GING-J'ACKS.

The Scheule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part f the Some.

mein parts, viz;

First, a hollow cylinder;

Second, a. horizontal shelf projecting from the side of the cylinder; and

Third, a. ange,`or its equivalent, around the bottom of the cylinder, by which it muy be secured to the bench.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my jackpost,the shelf being supported by a bracket.

Figure 2 is a. section, the shelf supported in a. different way.

Figure 3 is a, plan.

The hollow cylinder A sustains the pegging-juck when in use for pegging the shoes, the edges of the mein bottom plate of the jack resting upon the walls of the cylinder, while the spindle bearing the spiralspring projects down into the cylinder.

The pla-te a ofthe jack, which is hinged to the mein bottom plate, rests upon and is secured -to the projecting shelf B, which is provided with bolt-holes for that purpose. The whole. is secured to a bench by means of t flange, C. All these piu-ts are made in one piece.

I prefer to support the shelf 'B by a bracket, :is shown in iig. 1. v l

The pegging-jacks for which my jack-posts :tre more especially designed are now always mounted on a long wooden post which rests upon the oor, which is, consequently, heavy, cumbersome, and expensive. used because it is important to have the jack rest upon a. more solid support than an 4ordinary table or bench.

My jack post, as it is cast in one piece, und secured at several points to the bench, is found to give suicient soiidity, while at the same time it vdoes not weigh more than one-third as much es the posts commonly used, is far less cumbersome, and costs much less.

The jack, too, is more easily and more rmly scoured to it.

These jacks and jack-posts are commonly owned by the journeymen who use them, and are carried by them from shop to Shop, which greatly enhances the velue of my jack-post, as it-is so much more portable.

I claim es my inventionl The metallic jack-post, herein described, as al new article of manufacture, consisting of the hollow cyl nder A, the shelf B, :ind the auge O, all cast in one piece and constructed-als described, Y l
